Interim Control Bylaw – Study Area
Dear RAHB members,
We are seeking your feedback and experiences with the Interim Control Bylaw, currently in effect in the City of Burlington. Below are the details of the bylaw, as well as a link to submit your feedback.
Interim Control Bylaw (ICBL)
On March 5, 2019, Burlington City Council implemented a Temporary Development Freeze (Interim Control Bylaw, or ICBL) within areas of downtown Burlington and surrounding the Burlington GO Station. This Freeze will last one year, with a maximum extension of a second year.
On April 2, 2019, Burlington City Council amended the Temporary Development Freeze to include exemptions – “Building of pools, decks, fences and interior alterations are permitted. These types of developments are considered minor and/or accessory to the main use of the property. They are not considered to affect intensity or land use in the study area, so they are exempt from the ICBL.”
The construction of a new home or an addition to an existing home still fall within the ICBL.
We would appreciate your feedback on this Temporary Development Freeze – specifically if you or your clients have experienced any issues or disadvantages as a result of the Freeze, as well as how you think this Freeze may be affecting property values in Burlington.
To submit your feedback, please click the below button. It should take no longer than two (2) minutes of your time. We ask that you please provide your feedback by Friday, August 2, 2019.
